Hello,

I’ve enabled the sticky menu and I’m using a custom logo image for it and a background color with opacity.

1st question: In which JS file can I edit the timmings for all the effects of the sticky menu??

2nd question: Sticky menu is set to display and animate when you scroll-down X pixels. This is working in all pages except my homepage, where the sticky menu is already showing a background color on top even before you scroll down. Is there a fix for this?

Hi epiforma,

The best solution about this question can give my team mates, but they are currently on the summer vocation, when they arrive on 24 of August, please just reply on this thread and we’ll make sure that they see your comment.

Hope for your understanding :)

Kind Regards,

Hello dear team of helpers,

Hope you had a wonderful vacation :) can you please provide me a fix for my problem?

“Sticky menu is set to display and animate when you scroll-down X pixels. This is working in all pages except my homepage, where the sticky menu is already showing a background color on top even before you scroll down. Is there a fix for this?”

Art answered:

“Can you give us your site URL so we will check what we can do about it, in the homepage the problem may be because of the slider.”

http://www.epiforma.com/Favo Thanks you very much

Hi again,

Just e-mail us your login credentials and I will try to fix it by logging into your site admin.

To send us email use this link and please write us your request again, because we receive a lot of emails on daily basis and we unfortunately can’t remember all customers requests.

P.S: Please note that we usually do not respond to emails that request support, because here is our primary support forum. We use contact form just for sending sensitive information.

With today’s update, the “Portfolio Items” in Visual Composer are no longer filtering taxonomies or tags when a Portfolio item is added to a page.

The entire portfolio now displays.

Hi liquidcomet

Sorry about this issue, I now realized that this is problem of our theme:

So here is the quickfix (or wait for an update):

1. Download this file http://drops.laborator.co/YsnO+

2. Replace it in this directory:

/wp-content/themes/kalium/vc_templates/

It should fix your issue.

Hi, I found that Kalium use javascript to load posts on the front/blog page, meaning that if a user has turned off javascript in the browser, no content will show. Are you planning on making a fallback solution for this in a future update, so that at least the content can be read?

Hi alfgundersen,

This question is related to theme developer and I am unable to give you any solution about this because I am not backend developer.

Our theme developer Arlind or Art can help you with this, but they took the vacation and they will be back on 24 August.

When they come back, just reply to this thread and you will make sure Arlind or Art will see your comment.

Hope for your understanding :)

Kind Regards,

Hi Arlind or Art, I would appreciate if you could cast some light on this issue now, thank you!

Hi there,

We’re sorry for the late reply, I talked with the team and I don’t think we will implement this feature in Kalium, there is a huge to-do list with more important and required features from other customers.

Is there a way to change just the default green highlight colour without creating a whole new theme?

You can just built a new skin from the default skin and just change the default green color :)

Is there a way to remove the map pin or should I just use a 1×1px transparent png?

Hi there,

It is possible, you can upload it in the media and use it instead of the pin.

It would appear there is no way to change or disable the default hover effect on the new blog post widget released in version 1.4. Am I missing something? Ideally this would respect the blog page setting.

For the blog post there is no option like this, you can achieve it somehow manually but for now we haven’t added this option, maybe it will be possible in the next updates :)

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks for the reply. How would I manually disable the effect?

Hi thrsn,

Can you please write us your site URL where you have those blog posts here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution :)

I am trying to customize the Contact 3 google map with snazzy maps, but when I copy the Snazzy Maps code the page is blank.

1. http://greydimension.cafe24.com/1.jpg
2. http://greydimension.cafe24.com/2.jpg
3. http://greydimension.cafe24.com/3.jpg
4. Result (my site url) : http://greydimension.cafe24.com/?page_id=4005

Why not? ?? Thank you for the help, really need it!

Hi there,

I would suggest you to update the theme to the latest version 1.4.5 which we released today and then update all the plugins in Appearance > Install Plugins, the problem is with the Visual Composer.

Kind Regards,
Art

presale question:

I see 4 months ago you added in your comment that you guys are going to add woocommerce shop functionality which would make the theme price to $58. I see price is $58 but no woocommerce. Am i missing anything? I would love to have options to sell pictures online tied to third party printing sites such as nationsphotolab etc. any possibility using this theme?

What are the exciting upcoming features/functionalities planned in this theme? Looking forward to make a purchase. thanks!

thambi

I love your theme, but am in the edge of deciding between this theme vs Notio – Deluxe Portfolio Theme. Notio offers Text, horizontal, vertical, split blog posts and quite an option to be very creative. Yours looks as good as notio. Infact Notio theme speed test, and google insight score were better, but am still towards yours. It’s a close call. So i can make quite a few suggestions to fulfill photographer’s needs. I am a professional photographer myself, and few integration with selling photos online like graphpapers plugins would be great. And anything that Notio has, if you could include it -that would be awesome.

I just purchased the theme. Thanks! will keep posted ;).

N’joy Kalium!

Cheers!

I installed the theme, but haven’t been able to get the portfolio to display properly. the individual pages work without a hitch (see, for example, http://laurajcole.com/portfolio/rollins-magazine/), but I can’t connect them to the home page or the portfolio landing page (http://laurajcole.com/portfolio-2/). Instead, it just shows a blank page.

My max_execution_time is set at 120, and I use SiteGround, which says they won’t increase it to 180 without my paying at least $56/mo, which is ridiculous for a personal website that won’t get much traffic.

I’ve spent 10 hours today trying to install this theme and update my site, I haven’t been able to find a work around, and I’m wondering if you have any other solutions or if I can get a refund for the template.

Hi there,

I was just looking at your site and the portfolio item shows in the well in the portfolio page and even when clicking on it, it sends you to the single page of that portfolio item.

Have you fixed your issue or you’re still having problems with it.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi there, I have a major probleme since the last update 1.4.1 of the theme. My Home Page and my Contact Page don’t work anymore as you can see http://xaviergilbert.fr/contact/ – What I have to do ? Can I downgrade the theme? Thanks.

Hi there,

Go to Appearance > Install Plugins and install the latest Visual Composer to fix this error, it was a problem caused by the map shortcode.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi,

first of all thanks for this great theme! I think that is the best I’ve seen so far!!

One question : when i select the standard menu. How is it possible to display a seach form (as in the other form of menu) without using a sidebar.

Thanks

Hi there,

If you’re using the standard menu then the search form cannot be displayed in the menu line, you can use it only in other types of menus.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi team, I’ve a problem with background color. All is good (blue) with mozilla but white with internet explorer ! https://www.oxyzone.fr Thanks in advance Franck

Hi thibault,

Glad to hear that the problem is fixed now, enjoy Kalium :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Yes, but always problem with WP super cache !

Hi thibault,

I’m sorry but we don’t know what is the problem there, because we are not authors of that plugin, maybe you can install another cache plugin such as W3 Total Cache.

Hello,

A few details I would love to figure out.

1. I would like to create a main page with a single carousel of images that link to the projects. It would be preferable if the project title was displayed under the image, but not absolutely necessary.

2. After clicking on one of the projects showcased on the home page carousel, I would like to go that specific project without it being labeled …com/portfolio/projectname. I would like it to read …com/projectname

3. Given this, I would like the menu system to read

Selected Works > Profile Contact

“Selected” would be home. “Works” would have a drop down sub menu of all the projects.

4. I have a web font from fonts.com and cannot get it to work. Should I be copying a Javascript link or plain URL? Where would I copy it? Would it be a typekit?

Thanks for all the help. I absolutely love the theme!

Hi jessereedphillips,

Question 4: We don’t support fonts.com fonts for the moment. As for the typekit fonts, can you please follow this procedure.

Firstly create the font in typekit site:

1 – http://d.pr/i/12zNo 2 – http://d.pr/i/192Ig 3 – http://d.pr/i/1f3hX

Just make sure to add body or another selector to “Selectors” box on typekit.

http://d.pr/i/1dDAF Then in Admin Panel do the following in theme options:

Here is how I have implemented the font in theme options (Typography tab): http://d.pr/i/xMa0

Just make sure to add body or another selector to “Selectors” box on typekit.

http://d.pr/i/1dDAF See the result: http://d.pr/i/1aiUI

We use Embed Code code, but in the next version we will support Typekit ID too.

As for the Menu color code, just add the code below to Custom CSS

.menu-bar.menu-skin-light .ham {
    background-color: red !important;
} 

.menu-bar.menu-skin-light .ham:after, .menu-bar.menu-skin-light .ham:before {
    background-color: red !important;
}

Hello Ylli,

Thank you for the quick reply! That worked perfect for the menu site-wide. Any chance you can change the menu color only on portfolio pages?

Also, when my home page loads, it has a light grey background. How can I change that to nothing or white?

Thanks again.

Hi jessereedphillips,

To make that change, go to that portfolio item that you want to change menu color, go down and you will see Logo & Menu option:

(view large version)

2. That is impossible to change, because it is skin color.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi again,

I appreciate any help solving the following:

1. Changing the theme color, I changed the color in the theme settings however I keep getting the #00b19e color everywhere.

2. It is possible to change the menu color according to the background? Some pages have a dark background and the menu can’t be easily seen as its also dark.

3. I would like to shown an alert or something when the contact form send button is pressed and there is no entered content.

4. I would like to centralize the header in this page: http://www.sangriacayobui.com/es/about/ 5. I would like to remove the white space between the map and the gray footer: http://www.sangriacayobui.com/es/places/

Thanks for all the help!

Hi Tetayste,

You are using an old version of our theme (1.3.1) and the latest version for the moment is 1.5 (will be released today), so when the update is out please update theme first.

The easiest way to update our themes is if you use Envato Toolkit. On this link How to update Themes and Plugins you can learn this easy step-by-step procedure :)

Then go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

We won’t be able to provide support for outdated versions.

We want you to experience the best we have to offer while keeping your site safe.

Staying updated is the way to do it!

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Yili,

Thanks for the prompt response!

I just updated the theme (version 1.5) and plugins. Now I’m able to change the menu theme.

However I have a few doubts remaining, I’d appreciate any assistance solving them, I’m so close to finishing my site!

1. After updating the theme, the map style changed. I don’t think is an issue from my side as the same map used in the theme demo page changed as well.

Is there a way to get the map style back?

2. I starting to hate the theme default color (#00b19e). I’ve not been able to change it. I already changed it in the theme page settings!

The most important thing for me is to change the links hover color and the send button color from the contact form.

3. Is there a way to show just the fullscreen video in a video post? I would like to hide the title, the comments section, everything, just to show the video.

4. I’d like to show a lightbox gallery when a user click an image from a portfolio gallery. Is this possible?

Thanks for all the help, you guys have been great!

Hi Laborator,

When I add a “portfolio items” module on my page and I build my request, it works fine with portfolio items but not at all with pages.

I’ve installed a plugin to add categories to pages so that they can be filtered by the “portfolio items” module but instead of displaying filtered pages, it shows filtered posts instead…

Furthermore, Category Filter menu doesn’t appear even if I select “Yes” in the VC options.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Unfortunately the theme does not support any third party plugins that are not listed in our item page, we only support the plugins which are stated in the presentation of the theme.

Hi

Thanks for the great theme but I am having some glitches.

I think it may not have installed properly :( I dont know.

1. the product carosel does not let me choose a category – It just wont. 2. Featured Images will not display for items. They on the individual screen though 3. Categories do not appear in the menu settings

something is not right. Please help me.

Hi there,

1. To get products from a category make sure you write the category name in the Taxonomy field instead of Category, this is where it filters all kind of products.

2. Which version of the theme are you using? Please make sure you have updated to the latest version of it. If you have the latest version then there must be a problem with our theme we haven’t still located.

3. In the Menus where you are adding them, on the top right corner there is Screen Options, click that and tick the Categories to make them show.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi there, strange bug – the blog posts all appear twice.

Hello Kalium team.. Looking forward to getting a clean install of your nicely created theme. I’ve set up a localhost but cannot complete a regular install because of an error that has shown up a few times here in the comments. The dreaded… “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Here are my php settings: php vers: 5.5.12 configuration limits: max_execution_time 180.. memory_limit 128M.. post_max_size_ 32M.. upload_max_filesize 64M..

I’ve tried one multisite install and one regular install but get the same error on both. I have readily installed other zipped themes and they install without a hitch. Most of the day at it today but to no avail. Thanks for any help in getting this resolved, Steve

Hi 10kthings

We are sorry about this, we have had lot of tickets during the weekend and we are replying to all of them, but depending on the complexity of tickets, some tickets can only theme developer answer, thus even you have posted it earlier it may happen somebody get an answer faster if he had an easier question.

The error you encounter is related to PHP memory limit, but your php limits are fine. Can you please try to manually upload the theme via FTP, extract kalium.zip and then just drop the files in wp-content/themes/ folder.

I am not sure why this happens, many users who had this issue, it was not problem to install it when they increased the memory limits to suggested values by us.


Arlind

Hi 10kthings,

Did you had time to try them? Any news?

—Ylli
